NEW YORK—The global Web community has voted the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) as Best Charitable Organization/Non-Profit Web site of the year in the Webby People’s Voice Awards. The site is produced by Boston Interactive.

“We are thrilled to have received such a great honor by the voting public,” said Betsey Fortlouis, Vice President of Member Communications for the ASPCA. “Boston Interactive has designed a great Web site that supports our messaging and provides easy navigation.”

The Webby Awards is presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, a 650-person judging academy whose members include Martha Stewart, R/GA's Chief Bob Greenberg, David Bowie, Arianna Huffington and Twitter's Biz Stone.

The ASPCA will be honored at a star-studded ceremony hosted by B.J. Novak of NBC’s “The Office” on June 14th in New York City. On June 15th, fans will be able to watch the ceremony at the official Webby Awards YouTube Channel.

"The Webby Awards honors the very best of the Internet," said David-Michel Davies, Executive Director of The Webby Awards. "The ASPCA’s achievement is a testament to the skill, ingenuity, and vision of its creators."
